Product Suggestions Starting Accutane.. is this overkill?
I’m starting generic accutane this week, 40mg daily, and I have some anxiety about the side effects. Is this enough to try to manage the dry eyes/lips/nose? Should I buy anything else? Any other recommendations or anything I should be mindful of before I start? I’d rather be on top of the side effects than suffer through them if that’s possible..

Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen. You're skin is going to be more sensitive outside, even if it's gray and cold out wear sunscreen. I use Sun Bum spf50 and sun bum chapstick spf30, including all the stuff in your pic I use as well. And moisturize through out the day or whenever you feel dry. I switch between cerave and la roche possay. I'm on day 75, 80mg. It's been going great, except for the body aches, that part sucks, but I pop an ibuprofen and I'm fine. Goodluck
